MAGIC MORNING Disneyland Park: Guests with a 3+ day ticket can choose ONE day for early entry Tues, Thu, or Sat. EXTRA MAGIC HOURS for Resort Hotel Guests: Disneyland Park, Tue, Thu, Sat. California Adventure (including Cars Land) Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun. Radiator Springs Racers is open during early entry, but Fastpasses are not available during this time. More info here.

Magical Ecpress is awesome! As far as the premier passes go, double check that it's not a better deal to buy tickets. We went back in October for a week and upgraded our premiums to premier than realized it would if been cheaper to have bought tickets. Back then if you preorderd your magic bands you chose your color, if you picked them up at your hotel it was defaulted to gray.

It worked out fine. there are several waiting buses at the airport. The only thing I did not like was waking up at 3:30 am to leave for the airport - E-Ticket

Thanks for your input. Yea I would really dislike getting up at 3:30am. Good thing our returning flight is at 5:00pm👍 - LuvsMimisHouse 515.7 #365 10:55PM

I'm pretty sure the luggage went with us on our bus - E-Ticket

Magical express is perfect if you aren't in a hurry or don't have a super early flight. I think I was the last stop going in and the first stop leaving, so it was a rather long ride for me, and I was staying at Port Orleans. Not that I minded that, but at the end of a long travel day, with people waiting for you... I kept my luggage on me on the way back, as I had hundreds of dollars in souvenirs. 😁 a friend did have a bad experience previously where the luggage was delayed, but if you pack a carry on with that in mind, you will be fine. If you are flying in early in the day, pack to hit the ground running and if later, then something comfortable to sleep in. 😉 - bluefairy

Oh I'll be in no hurry at all! I'll just sit back and take it all in😊. I think I will just take a carry on as you said & keep a few necessities with me! My luggage was delayed on a previous trip to NY & that was not fun😬 - LuvsMimisHouse 515.7 #365 12:24PM

Exactly. I was delayed for a whole 24 hours in Houston on route to London. Needless to say, I was thankful that I had everything I needed in my carry on...my travel companions had to sleep in bath robes. 😁 - bluefairy 643.3 #274 1:26PM

Magical Express is GREAT! We used it twice last year and had a great experience both times! Have a magical trip to Florida! - brittandkell

Just got back from a San Diego trip where a downtown hotel we stayed at charges $36 dollars a night for parking so $16 doesn't seem too bad!!

When I went to Hawaii 4 years ago I rented a car so I could drive around the island and at my hotel it was $30 a day. You never think going to a hotel your going to go broke from parking at the hotel - rachelelizabeth 189.2 #2025 12:16PM

Thank you! I loved watching this :) it's just wonderful to see how supportive he is of her passion...that it "all started with a train"...I've got to get over to the winery, only 30 min. away. - Darlingwendi

Oh, Disney is playing childish games with Dish over HD. They offer free HD for life and Disney says no no no no! So Dish has no HD Disney channels, or Disney Jr. I may have to go Direct. Wish I would have known before switching back from fios! - DiscoSteve

Don't forget that sometimes these downtimes are guest related and not a mechanical problem at all. Can't always control the most unpredictable thing of all, especially little kids who run the wrong way or throw up where they shouldn't. - coasterbuf

People take flash pictures. Flash can mess with the sensors and animatronics. Just one piece of animatronics doesn't work, they have to reset the system. Sometimes you might notice some characters aren't moving when they talk... It might be reset soon after! - LaTruce

In review, I thought it was pretty good, but I still prefer Fantasmic over WOC (it has more characters, live action stunts and a fire breathing dragon. How can you beat that?). I'm kind of a traditional Disney person, so I wanted to see Mickey and the gang in it, but they never showed up. Anyways, I caught myself singing along and reciting the film clips as they were playing (being the Disney fan I am), but wasn't too fond of the Brave part (felt like a giant ad). One thing I really liked was the lasers in the Buzz Lightyear flying part and the fire effects for POTC. I did have to watch the show from quite a distance away (near the extended queue for Ariel's Undersea Adventure) because I didn't have a WOC fast pass, so maybe if I were closer to the water, my experience would have been a little different. Now that I've actually seen it, I get to work it for two nights next week! - BaseballMickey_CM
